Wow! What a busy week we have had in 1EJ and 1KS.
We cannot believe that we are already in Term 2. Some important dates for Term 2 to remember are as written below.
- Pupil Free Day: 6th f May
- 1EJ and 1KS Assembly: 7th of June
To being our week, we asked the students to reflect and recount on their two week break. The students enjoyed sharing all of the places they visited, people they spend time with and things that they got up to with their peers.
In Numeracy, we have been exploring patterns. We have learnt that a pattern is a sequence that repeats and that all patterns have a unit of repeat. This week students engaged in a variety of activities where they used colours, numbers, symbols and objects to both create and continue patterns.
In Science this term we are going to be learning all about weather! This week the students had an opportunity to show us what they already know as well as make predictions about what the weather would look and feel like for the rest of the week. We watched a weather report on the news and used the symbols to show what the weather looks like in Parafield Gardens.
In Word Study, we have begun learning the digraph sounds. A digraph sound is 2 letters that make 1 sound.
Our focus this week was the sound ‘ch’. We practised our handwriting, found words in books that contain the ‘ch’ sound and wrote our own sentences using words that have a ch in the beginning, middle or end of the word.
In Technologies, we have been learning all about design processes. This week the children designed their very own Emoji Mask. They were asked to draw their favourite emoji and label all the materials they would need to make it the following week.
